Mass populations can’t. But you can find various places on the earth where a society could survive through a bad period, and just continue on.

If you had to pick a realistic threat to society...the impact threat is 99 times more realistic than climate change...yet for every dollar spent on climate change...one cent gets spent on impact and meteor studies.

That's right. It is a mathematical certainty that Earth will again be hit by an asteroid/comet of such size that it will cause near-global level extinction. It's anything but a mathematical certainty that the earth is warming in any significant way do to man.

“one cent gets spent on impact and meteor studies.”

That much? I would have thought it was much smaller - like .001 cent, concidering the multi-billions spent worldwide on the Great Hoax.
